Create a Life
          you Love
 
            October 6, 2009                
Greetings!
 
After a "hairy" week, it's going well - my sister Duffy is recovering beautifully from open heart surgery, and my husband Jim is mending steadily from 8 broken ribs - both are healthy and spirited and that is helping. It reminds us how our health is the most important thing.
 
Jim urged me to go ahead with my scheduled departure for China next week to lecture about my book, 365 Daily Affirmations for Creativity at the university in Xian.  My talk is called,
 
AWAKEN YOUR CREATIVITY AND REACH YOUR FULL POTENTIAL.
 
I am told Chinese students are eager to learn American style innovation, and our approach to individual creativity.  My core belief is that everyone has the creative spark - it's your life force.  Creativity is not just for artists, but can be expressed in all areas of your life. The same creative process can be used to "create a life you love." 
 
 
I designed a little "quiz" for my audience, and thought you might like to take it too.
See below.
 
Be well,
Janet
